The HPs really arent strong enough for use with any lowering spring. I ran that setup for a while and wasn't happy with the bouncing at all.

HPs are meant for a stock replacement shock. from what ive heard it doesnt do well with any lowering spring like what mzmtg said. youre better off getting kybs agx's or illuminas.

I will say that I've found KYB GR-2s to be an acceptable, if not optimal, damper for use with lowering springs. They are noticably better than the Toks.

I'm running Eibachs and Tokico blues and the setup sucks. I am replacing it with H&R/KYB GR2 combo... the current setup is low for sure, but every bump feels and sounds like you drove into a crater it's so harsh.
